Robyn Hitchcock - Invisible Hitchcock - The Abandoned Brain
[Key of Eb, capo 3]
C fade in
C Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain
F Dm
Waiting for take-off in it
C Am
They say it's never gonna work again
F Dm
But I can spare a few minutes
C Am
Been here before in the abandoned brain
F Dm
There's flowers on all the controls
G Am F
The tape keeps telling me again and again
Dm F
That I am the keeper of souls
C Am F Dm
C Am
The wind blows hard on the abandoned brain
F Dm
But there's nobody thinking at all
C Am
The hypothalamus is open to the rain
F Bb
And the leaves sweep into the hall
G Am
There's no one else in the abandoned brain
F Dm
But that's not necessarily bad
G Am F
It feeds on itself but it's not insane
Dm F
This brain’s too old to go mad
C Am F Bb
C Am
Roses bloom in the abandoned brain
F Dm
And thoughts run wild on the floor
C Am
Like a headless corpse, a derailed train
F Bb
Who could ask for anything more?
G Am
I'm sitting here in the abandoned brain
F Dm
Waiting for take-off in it
G Am F
They say it's never going to work again
Dm F C
But I can spare a few minutes
